Was bored just clicking through the Random Media button while I was waiting for a train earlier today, and I love stumbling on pages where you can tell the person behind the media on the page is the one who wrote up the TV Tropes page.

Like I know Lily Orchard does that, because they're a moron obsessed with TVT and more or less type out their pages on their blog, but I stumbled on some random youtuber "Houdini Jr 100" who has less than 10k total channel views but has a tvt page which I'd bet dollars to doughnuts was written by him, including some spergery about Castle Crashers and whether or not its an indie game.

Unrelated, but I also forgot the Haiku page existed and that is some terminal cringe on those pages.

Back when I was still active on the site, I could tell that there were instances of tropers breaking the rules. You could see it all the time in fanfiction recs where authors themselves place their own works there. Who's gonna stop them? Who's gonna know? It's even better if they happen to have VPN.

The site is terribly bad in enforcing its own rules.

I was reading a fanfiction once where the writer just started advertising his own tvtropes page, which of course he wrote up and also encouraged readers to add to. I left him a very scathing review, I wonder if he still bothers.

And yet you have pseudo mods like Kuruni blanking entire sections of pages just because.

"Yeah, it's pretty anti-woke in that regard, in that it asks you, and even encourages you, to just turn your brain off and enjoy the movie uncritically. To be woke is to be critical of the media you consume, and for a work to be woke, it needs to critically examine what it is depicting. So if a movie refuses to do so, it can be said to be anti-woke."

This is some faulty logic from "Redmess" (never heard of him). So a right-wing masterpiece released in Current Year is woke? How about a satire of wokeism or left-wing thought in general? Both would make you think critically.
 
From the Umbrella Academy Nightmare Fuel page

TV Tropes acting like they care about unchecked Monopiles when they are the first ones to suck Disney's dick when they add diversity for shitty disney remakes and other shit they see as woke.

Or suck Bill Gates cock as well because he surpports their pet causes.


And when someone mentions about Disney being a unchecked Monopile or Bill Gates. They ignore all complaints. So this is rich coming from them.

He's just parroting Fighteer's standpoint, and this word salad he posted just serves as a justification for said standpoint. He's an utter moron.

Well, most Tropers are leftists, and leftists have elevated hypocrisy to an art form.

Yes I am well aware. But just reading that on their Nightmare Fuel for that show may be go "Bitch please!!"

It just makes me laugh that's all

What do you expect, they're liberals. Tropers talk a lot of big game about championing the little guy and then immediately go back to sucking on the corporate teat.

"Ho Yay" and "Drinking Game" for a show aimed at toddlers? And "Fanfic Recs"? Do people old enough to write fanfics do it for shows aimed at kids who are barely out of diapers? I can't decide if they'd have to be pedophiles, extremely autistic, or both.

The answer, as with everything related to fanfiction, is autism.
